Here's a closer look at the hook-ups. Thanks to Beau for the cool discs for correct controller wire connection.

I get questions about how to connect the controller alligator clips on these hook-ups. Here's a photo of the clips connected with the boots pulled back:

The hook-ups work fine even with the boots in place.

I haven't posted an update for awhile so here it is. I've been working on the track most every day, mostly on painting. The track surface is painted, color sanded, and ready for the braid to be laid. The driver's stations are built and have three coats of white base color on them. Today I applied the first coats of color to the driver's stations to identify which lanes each serves. I also remounted the electrical track control center that houses all the relays and connections for the lap counting system.

COLOR!....Something other than tan or white!

As a track owner I DO NOT like having problems or issues during a race! It can happen but what makes it even worse is having to crawl around under the track trying to figure out the source of the problem. With the track controls mounted here with easy access, it will make performing any necessary diagnostics much easier! I am planning to redo/redesign all the electrical connections and hardware that connects the wiring to the track braid and controller hookups. Part of the plan is to use fewer nuts, bolts, and screws!

Hey guys, I am working on trying to get my garage sorted out so we could maybe host a night race over there soon.

I have a couple challenges to overcome before this can happen. But I am hoping before the cold winter months it is an option.

I want to emphasize that I think it is important here to respect those who open up their homes for us to race. I want to race as much as the next guy but it really isn't up to what we are comfortable with at this point. It is up to the track owners and their families and we have to respect that.

That said, starting next month there will be 3 weeks in a row of fast paced 1/24 racing going on. So now might be the time to try your hand at that!

Yes I have RSC64, still learning all the details and settings, it can be very complex. I have two lane changes and pit stop lane.
I bought this REVOSLOT Toyota Supra, its beautiful and I love the aluminum chassis.

Hey guys I really miss going to the races, Ive been racing RC cars on carpet at PDX RC Underground and following all the guidelines, masks all the time, good sanitization of the pit areas, some degree of social distancing and alcohol to sanitize your hands everywhere. I can say that I feel safe there, we could do something like that.
As Mitch mentioned on Facebook a guess, I bought a REVOSLOT, ohh man those cars are just perfect. They make NSR look crap, seriously.
We could have some sort of class for those type of GT cars, REVO, NSR...

No a completely different subject, I have in my garage a nice digital Scalextric track on top of a 13 by 5 feet table, It would be nice to host a race or something here in Scappoose. What you guys think?

  Sounds like fun. you running any kind of race program with that ssd set up? I was running rsc 64 with mine with pit in and out sensor before I tore it all down. does revoslot make any gt3 body cars, thought they were are gt1 gt2, have to look into that some... but you can run them in lmp for sure.
